Oklahoma City, Edmond, Midwest City, Choctaw, Harrah: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Oklahoma County, the 1928 Oklahoma City Field and the West Edmond Hunton under the state capital.
Oklahoma County is the state capital with an oil field under it. The Oklahoma City Number One came in on December 4, 1928, south of the city limits, at 6,355 feet and about six thousand barrels a day; within a few years hundreds of wells had been drilled, the Wild Mary Sudik had blown out and coated the south side in crude, and a governor had declared martial law over drill sites on the capitol grounds. Peak production ran fifty-one to sixty-seven million barrels a year from 1933 through 1937. What remains is a mature field paying legacy royalties under a metropolitan area, plus a modern horizontal program on the county's north and east edges that most owners have not heard of.
What produces here. Legacy oil from the Oklahoma City Field and the West Edmond Hunton Lime Unit, and newer horizontal oil and gas in the outlying townships. The state production data compiled by aggregators shows close to eighty operators reporting in Oklahoma County, led by Formentera Operations, the Austin-based operator that holds the West Edmond Hunton Lime Unit and the Walden, Winterfell and Easton horizontal units and has permits on file for additional Easton and Lenhart wells, followed by White Operating, Stephens and Johnson Operating, E2 Operating, Assiduous Energy, Express Oil and Gas, Baron Exploration, Charter Oak Production and GLB Exploration among the names on checks and in the county records. Statewide, 105 operators filed 647 new-drill permits with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission in 2026 through late October, up from 610 in 2025, nearly all of it in western and central counties; the OCC does not publish a simple monthly county total, so we describe Oklahoma County's activity rather than quote one.
Whatever you own here, producing royalties, non-producing acreage, or an inherited fraction split among family, we will identify it from whatever paperwork you have, value it off the actual wells and activity, and show you the reasoning with the offer. Free, no obligation, and no pressure: if keeping it is the right answer, we will say so. Inherited it? Start with inherited mineral rights in Oklahoma.
Discovered December 4, 1928 at 6,355 feet, it became the nation's largest oil producer, blew out the Wild Mary Sudik in 1930, put derricks on the capitol grounds, and still pays legacy royalties under the city.
The old Hunton unit north of the city and the newer horizontal wells Formentera Operations has drilled and permitted in the county's outlying townships, the county's only active program.
